Gotham City Lounge

  • Price band: 1/4
  • Critics choice

Find this welcoming comic-book temple tucked beneath the rattling tracks of the elevated M train—just look for the giant mural of Batman outside. If themed mixed drinks like the Green Lantern (Zubrowka, apple schnapps, Sprite) give you pause, stick with $3 PBR-and–Old Crow whiskey combos while geeking out over the bar’s deep collection of superhero memorabilia.

  1. 1293 Myrtle Ave, (between Cedar St and Central Ave)
